  An "experience" might not be connected to another life at all. But if anybodt had one, as I did, it is sufficient in itself.

  Is the present knowledge all there is to life? of course not. imagine all that had to happen to bring us to the "now", and what potentially will happen in the future to come! with or without us personally being there.I definitely do not recall having been present in the past.

  Millions Then Living Did Not Survive

  by Fred Franztone in

  it's almost 2018, almost 100 years since 'judge' rutherford confidently prophesied that 'millions now living will never die!'..

  so how many of those millions are left?

  well, since it was 100 years ago, all we need to do is find out how many people of age 100 and above are currently living.

  To think, that based on such proclamations, he, Rutherford and the rest of the then non-existing GB was selected and appointed in 1919 to be the once and only F&DS. now in the overlapping generation.

  Appointment of a few resulting in disappointment for the many.

  Adam and the Dinosaurs

  by The Real Edward Gentry in

  here is a fascinating subject.

  according to the bible , one of adam's first assignments was to name all the animals including the sea creatures and dinosaurs of course.

  we don't know how long this took but, as all witnesses know, the time period is crucial in working out the timing of armageddon).

  no, English came from old French and German, originated in the confused Babel babblling. blabbering, the snake, Eve, and Adam must have spoken the earlier pure language, coming again in the new system.

  2018 RC ... and 2017 AGM

  on another post of mine someone replied with a twitter link showing these stills from the next movie to be shown at 2018's rc, about jonah.

  not only is it very early for any leaks to be coming from the convention, but the images appear to be taken off of another screen, which leads me to believe someone behind the scenes leaked this against explicit directions.. also .

  where's the agm video leak by now?

  To survive, never die, you have to be a baptized Watch Tower subscriber [to doctrine] in good standing or a toddler of one of them.

  How many faithful centenarians are there among the ~8000k members? even the overlappers? dont forget, all members in 1918 were of the partaker class. How could they go to heaven but never die? The doctrine was not even wrong. like the anointed generation now.

  The offshoot, The general generation of OS is overlapping too.

  recommendation for the Roman Catholics: scrap mandatory celibacy for priests, (to give them a sexual outlet) make confessional (The one witness rule) open to reporting. More severe imho, than witness directed changes sought.

  Mark 8:36 "What profit a man to gain the whole world...

  by kepler in

  ... and lose his soul.

  " when jws came to my house years ago to instruct me on "what the bible really teaches", i gathered from the text that doctrine made a distinction between humans and spirits such as angels.

  the belief in a bodily resurrection made the notion of a soul either redundant or something that would be extinguished.

  kepler: "--This suggests that somehow we are to be transformed like caterpillars into butterflies.

  Excepts that is the reverse than the resurrection, which is butterflies into caterpillars, because

  Butterflies procreate, not the caterpillars. Angels have wings though, but to procreate they have to shed them to marry, like they did, before the flood.

  kepler be careful, your famous name forbearer Johannes K , was disfellowshipped for bible question quests.

  do whatever you think is necessary to continue serving Jehovah. Move far away from --

  the idea that your life should be focussed on the wt slavery aka serving god. You are doing yourself a disservice that way. Sooner or later this former torturer of yours will succumb to the urging of his hormones, and you would be wt free to remarry. but why let yourself be ruled by those artificial, even barely biblical rules?

  Your trouble is, you might seek out (without realizing it) the same personality type again. Take advice of many counsellors.
